Maybe this man was a victim, no one knows yet.
It's no conspiracy theory to suspects Islamic terrorists did this. Nor is it a conspiracy theory to suspect domestic terrorists. The conspiracy theory will come when the gov't. announces who they blame it on.

So, I guess this was done by an anti-government lone wolf, - an outsider.
Makes sense. But we dont know yet.

It should be assumed that the boy is innocent until proven otherwise. Yet it's all over the news "not a person of interest" - that would put him in the same category as everyone else in the hospital, "a person of interest" being questioned. Boston authorities are stating that they do not have a suspect.

Being an Arab at the wrong time and wrong place would make anyone try to get as far away as possible. If he was seriously burned and had a leg injury how far could he get? Reports are that he is cooperating and was scared. Understandable for any innocent Arab or someone who appears to be Arab/Pakistani/Muslim would be scared.

Apparently they found someone who appeared suspect and searched his apartment. Funny, no mention of his ethnicity or nationality.

I believe it would be wise for all of us to calm down and not assume it was any group who did this until we know for certain....just saying...yanno?

Lets consentrate on the innocent victims, and pray for they're families...I mean people lost legs, a little 8 year old died....I don't know, I just think we should keep them first and foremost in our prayers....

It is so sad, so very sad.....

Will Obama again refrain of saying the terrorism word again? Most likely he will postpone that word for as long as he can.. his politically correct stand is insanity for the American people.

I believe a good many people were terrorized by the bomb blasts and killed and maimed.

Will Obama look for an excuse to cover what the terrorists did? Will Obama just not say the terrorist word as not to offend our enemies who kill us with cowardice acts of violence against the innocents of man , woman and child.

All true.
I just watched the news and the authorities are still saying that people are being questioned. This man was highlighted for the reasons you just mentioned.

??? I personally am making no assumptions. Just reporting what I read. And let's be honest. How many people didn't think Islamo-fascist/terrorist when this happened?

I think most thought that, whether they want to admit it or not. I did. There is plenty of reason to think that and there is nothing wrong with it.
